Tbh, watched it just for Miles Maitland (Michael Sheen). I enjoyed it somewhat, and side characters are far more interesting than main plot.

Bizarre… it’s interesting & dull at the same time. The costumes & sets are glamorous & stunning though.

Extremely enjoyable piece of cinema. Exquisite dialogue and great pace, not terribly deep but very rewatchable.

While it looks lighthearted, this adaptation of Waugh is full of dark content. Worth the watch - great cast.

Unlikable characters written compellingly.

Bearing in mind the pedigree I was a bit disappointed by this. Over long and descends into bathos.

Sort of difficult to watch. Good plot and acting. Could use more scenes of Miles Maitland.

Omg. This movie is an instant favorite, so campy- watch if your gay or have good taste or both

A group of privileged (for the most part) young adults flit from party to party. Everything felt false & forced from start to finish.

A nice choice for when you’re looking for a period piece focusing on ‘30s socialites
